黑人文艺复兴庆祝黑人历史月

3 minute read | March 2023

尼尔森的黑人历史月庆祝活动充满了社区建设、参与和学习的机会。尼尔森黑人员工商业资源小组(BRG)--SABLE(持续活跃的黑人领导力和赋权)选择的 2023 年主题是黑人文艺复兴与黑人卓越。

"文艺复兴是一个重生的时代--重塑、赋权和认可,"SABLE 联合领导人托里-肯德里克(Torri Kendrick)说。"我们希望创造一个认可和探索黑人社区感兴趣或面临挑战的各种主题的空间"。 

尼尔森员工有机会成为志愿者,探索黑人历史和黑人社区当今面临的挑战。通过圆桌讨论、书籍和播客讨论,这些活动为黑人员工的生活经历发声,提供了学习机会,同时也向所有尼尔森员工开放。

Financial literacy was a new focus for this year. SABLE hosted a financial workshop with a goal of using financial education to closing the racial wealth gap. The BRG also hosted a new Fidelity webinar: How to manage money, deal with debt, and create a financial legacy. “So often financial literacy can fall through the cracks for anyone, not just members of the Black community,” Kendrick said. “Making sure that we provide this education to our employees can be instrumental in the fight against racial inequity, and we’re doing our part in closing the financial gap for all communities.” 

SABLE 从文艺复兴中汲取灵感,探索艺术和社区福祉。其他项目包括庆祝黑人音乐、提供志愿者机会以及教授自我保健和家庭幸福的新方法。 

随着3月份黑人历史月向妇女历史月过渡,尼尔森员工还参加了 "国际DIVA项目 "的虚拟志愿者活动--该组织致力于满足黑人女孩的需求,为她们提供表达自我、寻找自我以及学习如何在经济上取得成功的空间。尼尔森员工制作了内容丰富的事实卡片,重点介绍了来自各种背景的黑人女性所取得的成就。 

“It’s important for employees to demonstrate our values by working with external organizations. Working with Project DIVA International allowed us to be more active allies, not only for Black History Month, but for women as well,” said George Callard, Chief Legal & Corporate Affairs Officer and SABLE executive sponsor.

To wrap up the month, a Spotify playlist was curated and shared, including the music that was used throughout the month in various events. The playlist takes true Renaissance inspiration,  featuring Black music throughout the eras and cultures, from African diaspora-inspired music to hip hop, jazz, R&B and a few pieces transcending culture. “Music has always been a source of expression and inspiration; and it brings people together, creating new connections,” commented Shanell Fountain, Training Manager and SABLE leader. 

Black History Month is a reminder of what still needs to be done for and alongside the Black community. Nielsen’s celebration is a source of inspiration and empowerment — making sure that  we keep moving forward to create a more inclusive world inside our company and our communities.

"艺术一直是变革的催化剂。它能激发对新思想的讨论,也能让我们回忆起已经逝去的时代......我们必须睁大眼睛向前看,因为了解自己的过去是为未来而战的武器库中不可或缺的一部分。
